Professional Vinyl Fence
A vinyl fence gives families lasting privacy and low upkeep, holding its color through Indiana winters without repainting.
Increase Curb Appeal, Privacy, and Security
A fence does a lot for a Columbus home: a clean line that respects the architecture this city is known for, a safe space for kids and dogs, and privacy without closing off the yard. Our professional Columbus fence company gives you options that match the property you actually have, whether that’s a compact historic-district lot downtown, a mid-century ranch on the east side, a new build in Abbey Commons, or a wooded acre toward Flatrock Township.
We respect your time, and we’ll handle the project every step of the way, from measuring and planning to building to the City of Columbus’s fence standards, to the final walkthrough.
Our fence contractors are experts in residential fences as well as farm and commercial fencing. Whether you’re looking for a wood privacy fence, a vinyl picket fence, or a custom rail fence, or you have no idea what kind of fence you need, we’re ready to get to work for you!

Helpful Links:
Columbus is the county seat of Bartholomew County, Indiana, about 40 miles south of Indianapolis on I-65, where the Driftwood and Flatrock rivers meet to form the East Fork of the White River. Founded in 1821 and home to Cummins, the city had a population of 50,474 at the 2020 census and is known worldwide for its modern architecture and public art, earning the nickname “Athens on the Prairie.” Its housing runs from mid-1800s homes on the downtown grid to mid-century suburbs on the east side and newer subdivisions to the north and west of the river.
Professional Columbus Fence Company
Our fencing professionals understand property lines, drainage, easements, and the other factors that decide where a fence can go. That matters in Columbus, where the Driftwood and Flatrock rivers converge to form the East Fork of the White River, and where the City requires the easement holder’s permission before a fence goes into a utility, drainage, or access easement and recommends a survey to verify lot lines and underground utilities. We’ll walk you through that step, lay the fence out to stay clear of easements and the public right-of-way, and keep it off your neighbor’s property.
Our reliable, respectful crew uses high-quality finishing materials and our tried-and-true process to install your new fence correctly and on time. When it comes to fence installation in Columbus, you won’t find a more experienced, professional team.
Choosing the Right Fence for Your Needs
We’ll discuss your property, preferences, location, environment, and budget. Our Columbus fence installation professionals can then help you settle on the best material, rail type, design, and height, including how to stay within the City’s eight-foot limit for side and rear yards and 42-inch limit for front yards, which on a corner lot applies to both street sides. We even have in-house custom fence designers able to deliver a fencing solution that meets your needs and the guidelines of communities like Abbey Commons, Tipton Lakes, and Harrison Lake.
Columbus Fence Installation
BlueBird Fence Company offers Columbus fence installation for residential, farm, and commercial properties. Because we build every fence on-site rather than dropping in prefab panels, our Columbus fence installation team can follow the grade on the older downtown lots, where mature trees and 100-year-old fence lines are common, on the mid-century east side, and on the larger parcels outside city limits where a single run can rise and fall several feet. We arrive on your scheduled installation day with every material needed, install with care, and walk the finished fence with you before we leave, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Columbus Fence Contractor
BlueBird Fence is backed by years of satisfied customers across central Indiana, and Columbus sits inside the area we serve, a straight run down I-65 past our Greenwood and Franklin customers. We bring the same detail-oriented approach to every Columbus job: a detailed quote, typically the same day you reach out, a confirmed installation date, and proactive updates along the way, so you always know what’s happening and when. We offer a wide range of products and services, including fence installation, ranch fence installation, and commercial fence installation.
Columbus Fence Options
BlueBird Fence Company offers a large variety of fencing options to fit your exact needs. Our Columbus fence material options include cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and iron, with many configurations, optional add-ons, and opportunities to customize. One rule to know: the City of Columbus does not allow chain link in a front yard, so we reserve it for backyards and side yards and use ornamental aluminum or picket out front. A Columbus privacy fence turns a compact backyard into a quiet retreat, and a Columbus security fence in ornamental metal keeps your family or business safe. Ask your representative which style is best for your property.
Columbus Fence Builder
Our team of experts at BlueBird Fence of Indiana builds fences that are crafted to not only fit the style of your property but also match the shape of your landscape. Unlike other fence builders, our Columbus fence company does NOT use pre-fabricated fence panels. We build custom (stick-built) fences that follow the lay of the land and give a much smoother transition from fence to ground. Good news for Columbus homeowners: the City does not require a permit to install a fence, but it does set standards for materials, location, height, and orientation, including that all structural members face the inside of the property. We know those rules and build to them, so your fence is done right the first time. Request a free quote to learn more about BlueBird Fence’s services.
Columbus Fence Company
If you’re looking for a high-quality fence for your property, BlueBird Fence Company is the right Columbus fence company for you. We offer a wide variety of fence materials to choose from, including cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, aluminum, metal, iron, and chain link, along with decorative add-ons and customization options. Our team is committed to high-quality products installed with attention to detail and kind, communicative service from the first call to the final walkthrough. We’re proud to serve Columbus families as a trusted partner, from the historic district downtown to the newest homes north of the city.
Columbus Metal Fence
Ornamental metal fences are increasing in popularity for both commercial and residential customers. Attractive, extremely durable, and secure, they come in a variety of metal types and finishes, and iron fencing is generally low-maintenance, complements architecture, and outlasts wood and vinyl. In a city that takes its architecture seriously, a clean-lined black aluminum fence complements both the historic homes downtown and the mid-century houses on the east side, and it stays within the City’s 42-inch front-yard limit when run along the sidewalk. You can even personalize your Columbus metal fence by adding custom rails, spears, rings, scrolls, or finials.
Ask your BlueBird Fence Company representative about our Columbus metal fence options and configurations.
Columbus Wood Fence
BlueBird Fence supplies professional-grade wood fences that are built to last through Columbus’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers. Our wood fences are typically made from cedar, which features a beautiful natural coloration that also naturally protects your Columbus fence against bugs and decay. Cedar is easy to paint or stain, or it can be left to age naturally and develop a beautiful patina. Your Columbus wood fence is custom-built at your home to match the curves of the landscape, which matters on the river-side and wooded lots where the ground rarely runs level.
Columbus Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is a strong choice for Columbus homeowners who want lasting privacy without annual staining, and it suits the newer subdivisions north of the city, where HOA guidelines tend to favor a clean, uniform look from the street. It holds its color through Indiana winters, shrugs off spring rain, and cleans up with a garden hose. We install vinyl privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles, and because every run is built on-site, your vinyl fence follows your yard’s contours instead of stepping awkwardly across a slope. Ask about the profiles and colors available for your Columbus vinyl fence.
Columbus Fence Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Columbus, Indiana?
No. The City of Columbus Planning Department states that you do not need a permit to install a fence, but the fence must meet the City’s standards for materials, location, height, and orientation. We build to those standards on every Columbus job, so you don’t have to track them yourself.
How tall can my fence be in Columbus?
Side and rear yard fences may be up to eight feet, measured from the surrounding grade to the top of the fence, with posts allowed to extend six inches higher. Front-yard fences are limited to 42 inches. Corner lots have two front yards and the 42-inch limit applies to both; through lots are limited only in the front yard the house faces. HOA covenants may be stricter, and we confirm both before we quote.
What fence materials are not allowed in Columbus?
Chain link is not permitted in a front yard, and electrified and barbed wire are prohibited. The City also requires that all structural members, braces, and bolts face the interior of the property, so the finished side faces your neighbors and the street. We design every Columbus fence with those rules built in.
Can I put a fence in an easement in Columbus?
Only with the easement holder’s permission, and never in the public right-of-way. The City recommends a survey to verify lot lines and underground utilities before installing a fence, and we recommend the same when the line is uncertain. We lay out every fence to stay clear of utility, drainage, and access easements wherever possible.
How much does a fence cost in Columbus, and can I finance it?
Cost depends on material, height, linear footage, gates, and site conditions, so we quote every project individually and send a detailed estimate, typically the same day you reach out. Many Columbus homeowners spread the cost with our financing options through Wisetack, including 0% APR plans for qualified buyers.
BlueBird Fence also serves homeowners in nearby Franklin, Shelbyville, Bloomington, and Greenwood.
